- not saying i agree with them but the last half of his career he spent more time off the field than on it -- nm - humbug Jan 6, 15:26 2
  - And still ended up with 630 homers. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 15:28 1
    - no Will, all players should be judged based on their final yea playing. -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 15:53
